The child was so noisy that his head was spinning.
…
A sound of music sounded.
…
The gushing little boy's voice suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth.
He looked at the little brother blankly.
Just now……
…
The little brother lowered his eyes slightly.
The melodious and crisp sound of pipa flows from its fingertips like a clear spring.
It is particularly suitable for the current rain scene.
It's so beautiful that it makes you feel like you're in a dream.
…
The little boy was stunned.
A dull look on his face.
I just felt that all the sound of rain and all the noise quickly disappeared.
Only the sound of the pipa created a vacuum world for him.
His brain felt dizzy.
It’s not the uncomfortable dizzy feeling of having your ears feel hot and your head feeling swollen after being talked about by your mother for a long time.
But...
It's like lying on soft white clouds, with the breeze blowing on your cheeks and the fragrance of flowers hitting your face.
…
"Leilei, Leilei...Leilei?"
"Leilei!"
…
The little boy suddenly came to his senses.
He turned his head blankly and looked around.
A familiar figure came into view.
"mom, Mom, Mom?"
…
"it's me."
The woman looked up and down at the child with a worried look.
"Why are you dazed?"
"Mom called you so many times before you heard me?"
…
"ah?"
The little boy blinked.
There is a feeling of sluggishness.
"Mother?"
…
"how?"
The woman raised her eyebrows.
"You don't even recognize mom anymore?"
"What's wrong?"
The woman soon became more and more worried.
She put her hand on the child's forehead.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Tell mom."
…
"Mother?!"
The little boy's somewhat hazy eyes regained clarity.
The warmth on his forehead made him feel comfortable and at ease.
He couldn't help but rub his mother's palm.
"How did you come?"
…
"Why am I here?"
The woman found that the temperature under her palm was moderate, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still pressed his forehead against it uneasily.
After feeling it for a while, the woman distanced herself from the child comfortably.
"Didn't mom see it raining?"
"I know you didn't bring an umbrella."
Weather forecasting rarely fails.
"I wanted to come earlier..."
She asked for half an hour's leave from the company and left work half an hour early...
Who knew there was a traffic jam on the road, so I was delayed until now.
She was really angry and anxious.
…
After getting off the car, she didn't find the child in the school. She followed the route the child took home from school and saw the child hiding under the eaves from a distance.
At that time, she thought the child was smart and knew how to find a place to hide from the rain.
Most of my thoughts were relieved.
Unexpectedly, when someone came over, the child's reaction would be so strange.
She had put down most of her worries before but felt confident again.
This kid...
You won't be fooled by the rain, right?
Seeing the child's embarrassment, the woman thought worriedly.
…
"oh."
The child nodded blankly.
…
"Okay, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get home."
The woman took the child.
The umbrella tilted over the child's head.
"Let's go home."
…
The little boy did not reject his mother.
He subconsciously followed his mother's strength and walked under the umbrella.
Just when his mother was holding his hand and about to leave-
The little boy froze.
He turned back suddenly.
…
"how-"
Startled by the child's somewhat too violent head turn, the woman's remaining words suddenly got stuck in her throat.
After a few seconds, the woman continued, "Leilei, what's wrong?"
"Is something missing?"
"what?"
"Mom will help you find it together."
The woman looked at the ground.
…
"Why……"
The little boy drawled his voice unconsciously.
"Gone..."
…
"What's missing?"
The woman thought she had guessed correctly.
Something is missing from the child.
It's just that this kid always misses the point...
The woman frowned slightly.
"That's what you said."
"What exactly is missing?"
…
"My little brother is missing..."
The little boy couldn't help but take a step back.
Half of the body was back under the eaves.
…
"Why?"
The woman was startled at first, and then she felt relieved when she realized that the child had not been exposed to the rain.
The woman later realized what the child had said.
"...little brother?"
"What little brother?"
"Didn't you lose something?"
…
"I didn't lose anything."
The little boy muttered.
"My little brother is missing."
"Little brother is not a thing."
…
"Ahem~"
The woman choked a little.
She knew the child didn't mean anything bad.
but……
"Leilei, don't tell anyone else next time..."
Well……
"It's not a thing."
The woman said a little hesitantly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to make her children understand what she meant.
…
"Why?"
The little boy finally turned his head.
A look of confusion.
"Little brother, isn't he a thing?"
"Little brother is a human being."
The little boy looked serious.
"Same as us."
"Neither are we-"
…
"Ahem~"
The woman interrupted the child with a cough.
never mind.
This topic is skipped.
If this continues, both she and the child will become nothing more.
The woman twitched her mouth slightly.
Decisively brought up the topic again.
"Who is the little brother?"
"Is he the one hiding from the rain with you?"
Judging from the child's behavior of looking for someone under the roof where he had taken shelter from the rain, the woman easily came up with this guess.
…
"Um."
The little boy nodded.
The eyes instantly sparkled.
"It's the little brother who doesn't wear shoes that I told you about last time."
"I just met him again-"
"Did you meet him again?"
The woman was surprised and couldn't help interrupting the child.
Is it such a coincidence?
…
"Um."
The little boy nodded.
"I met that little brother again."
"That little brother still doesn't have any shoes on."
The little boy shook his head.
"Why does he always forget to put on his shoes?"
"he-"
…
"Leilei."
The woman's face was slightly tense.
There was also a hint of seriousness between his eyebrows.
"What did I tell you before?"
…
ah?
The little boy was still immersed in the fact that his brother was not wearing shoes. When he came to his senses, he found that his mother's face was not very good and she was a little confused.
What?
…
"Didn't I tell you not to get close to that little brother next time you see him?"
At that time, the woman thought these words were just unnecessary worries on her part.
After all, two people who are strangers... how much fate must they have to meet again?
did not think of……
Her children are so destined to each other.
We actually met again in such a short period of time...
…
At this, the woman was surprised and a little angry.
